We help LGBTQ+ communities fight for equality and freedom across Europe
Lavender Common is a community-funded legal research and litigation network fighting LGBTQ+ rights violations across every corner of Europe.
The same rights violations are happening across Europe.
Some of the issues we're working on.
One community, many voices, all over Europe
Lavender Common brings together a variety of voices (volunteers, law firms and LGBTQ+ organisations) under one coalition fighting for the same rights.
Individual supporters
LGBTQ+ people and allies across Europe giving from £10 a year to support our work and stand together.
LGBTQ+ organisations
We work hand-in-hand with LGBTQ+ organisations across Europe, from national charities to grassroots groups, who know their local community best.
Law firms
Law firms across Europe lend senior counsel time pro bono, giving our legal cases the best chance of success.
Volunteers
Translators, organisers, researchers and other professionals lending their support make the day-to-day work of Lavender Common possible.
REAL CASES, REAL STAKES
The cases we're working on.
This is the work in practice: campaigns our community has already helped fund.

The next case, in motion right now
Details are confidential while the intervention is being prepared with partner counsel. We publish cases when we can but we need you to support us as our work continues behind the scenes.
LGBTQ+ rights have to be protected by a community-driven effort. Lavender Common is the manifestation of that belief.Mohamed Hussein Iman, Managing Director
